Edible Plants / Re: Seed Saving Circle 2025
Last post by galina - August 13, 2025, 10:50:44
Just noticed that RealSeeds retail this too, but a different strain of it.  Mine were from Denali Seeds in Alaska, bought when getting seeds from the USA was still widely possible some twenty years ago.  This strain has the number 353, but its history also goes back nearly 90 years. 

Here are both urls, first RealSeeds

then Denali, my source of seeds

Here is the Early Prolific Straightneck Squash also growing this year.  This fruit is isolated/handpollinated and I hope its seeds will be ready in time for the circle distribution.

This is the isolated/handpollinated Golden Marbre that I cut up earlier this year.  It was grown last year, but too late for the seed circle.  It is producing true offspring from a few seeds I used this year to verify that handpollination.  A candidate for the seed circle.

Wishing the little kitten the best of a healthy life after all your diligent care. 

Did the Davington Epicure tomatoes ever do anything for you?

A bit late, but if you have not yet pruned the laterals back to 5 leaves, there is still time to do it.
